Matt Groening

Big Book of Bart Simpson

Bart Simpson, America's favourite underachiever, lays claim to his own comic collection. In an homage to the comics he enjoyed as a kid (such as Little Lulu and Peanuts), Matt Groening presents stories about Bart and the kids of Springfield with adults taking a backseat as comic foils. Big Book of Bart Simpson features several short stories that can be enjoyed by a younger reading audience, but there are plenty of laughs for kids of all ages. It's good old-fashioned fun with the same satiric edge that has made 'The Simpsons' the most successful animated program in television history.
